This tomato sauce is very easy to make and so versatile! I of course use it with pasta or rice for my children, but also as a shakshuka base, with zucchini noodles, with konjac noodles, with roasted vegetables and with baked fish!
You can make it, save it in the fridge for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. It is 100% 6-week plan compliant too!
I hope you enjoy it!
2 cans of chopped tomatoes
100g of green or black olives
1 tablespoon of capers
2 tablespoons or 30g of chopped fresh basil

1 tablespoon of tomato purée
1/2 teaspoon of ground cinnamon or 1 cinnamon stick
1/2 teaspoon of good quality salt
